Mitchell Vantrease Arizona Republic It's a weepy, nail-biting story line that's all too familiar, although Abbass portrays her character with strong conviction and carries the film gracefully. Rated: 3/5 Nov 15, 2002 Full Review Sid Adilman Toronto Star There are many scenes of belly dancing, pure pleasure to watch. Rated: 3/5 Nov 1, 2002 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail Part of the charm of Satin Rouge is that it avoids the obvious with humour and lightness. Rated: 3/4 Nov 1, 2002 Full Review Kam Williams Global Rhythm Magazine A daring drama that addresses how a wanton woman copes with a strict social structure that would deny her any outlet for her animalistic urges. Rated: 4/4 Jan 12, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews A celebration of unintellectualized joy and the discovery of life. Jan 19, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
